"WRITING PEN.

Application. filed Gctooer 21, 192-5. Serial No. 63,960.

This invention relates to a pen and one object of the invention is toproduce a pen point so constructed that it will not be damaged by roughusage or quickly wear out.

.nother object oi the invention is to construct the pen point that asupply of ink may be placed in the pen holder and this ink fed throughthe body of the pen point to the writing end thereof.

The figure represents a longitudinal sectional view through the device.

The pen, which is indicated in general by the numeral 9, is providedwith a shank portion of an even diameter throughout its length and atapered forward end portion 11 provided with grooves 12 which correspond to the grooves 8. The shank 10 is provided with an axiallydisposedpocket 13 which opens through the rear end of the pen and at itsforward end communicates with a reduced passage 1% which extendsforwardly into the tapered forward end portion oi. the pen and isprovided with side branches 15 which open into the grooves 12 near theirupper ends. The stall 16 is provided with a longitudinally extendingsocket 17 constitut ing an ink reservoir and having its outer endportion 18 reduced so that the shank of the pen point 9 may tit snuglyin the outer end portion of this socket with its rear end abuttingagainst the shoulder 19. A sleeve 20 may be provided upon the forwardend portion of the 16 or may be omitted it so desired. By having thestaii 16 formed with a. longitudinally extending socket 17 and the penprovided with a pocket 13 and passage 14L ink may be poured into thesocket or reservoir 17 and when the pen is inserted the ink will flowthrough the shank and through the passage 14 and side branches 15 intothe grooves 12. It will, therefore, be seen thatiiis conetructionprovides a. pen and holder in which a large supply of ink may be cannot. in the stall and ted to the pen point after the manner in which inkof a fountain pen is led to the pen. By having the passage 1d: and sidebranches 15 of a reduced diameter. the flow of ink through the pa willbe controlled by a vacuum seal which will be formed at the lower orforward end of the passage 14- and, therefore, there will be no dangerof too great a quantity of ink passing into the grooves 12. If desired,the rear end portion of the pen may be threaded, as shown at 21, so thatit may engage with threads formed in the inner end portion of the socketand be securely held in place.

Having thus claim:

A pen holder having a pocket opening through its forward end, and a penpoint having a shank provided with a pocket opening through its upperend and alined with the pocket of the holder to provide a relativelylarge ink reservoir, the pen point havdescribed the invention, 1

ing a plurality of longitudinally extending grooves increasing in depthfrom the shank to the point terminal, said point having a centralpassage leading from the reservoir to a point remote from the pointterminal, said point having a plurality of radially disposed downwardlyinclined branch pas sages, having their inletends opening into saidpassage and their outlets opening into the bases of the grooves atpoints of their greatest depth.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature.
